Where to Find Nargacuga:

Before you even head out, make sure you've chowed down on some Bunny Dango for buffs and equipped a Thunder-elemental weapon. Nargacuga really hates Thunder! You'll find it in a few spots:

AreaChance
360%
930%
810%

Most of the time, you'll find it chilling in Area 3, but don't be surprised if it pops up in Area 9 or even Area 8.

How to Defeat Nargacuga:

Your best bet is to head straight to Area 9. That's usually where Nargacuga likes to hang out first. When you get there, you'll see it roaming around. Keep your eyes peeled!

Nargacuga is a Flying Wyvern, and its tail is no joke. It can shoot out projectiles from its tail that can stun you if they hit or if you step on them. Seriously, watch out for those! The best strategy is to use a Thunder weapon, as it's its major weakness. For a more in-depth breakdown of its moves and how to counter them, you'll want to check out a dedicated Nargacuga guide, but for this quest, focus on its Thunder weakness and dodging those tail shots.

Finishing Up:

Once you've successfully taken down the Nargacuga, just make your way back to Kamura Village. Find Hinoa, talk to her, and you'll wrap up the Wind Speed Wyvern quest!

Tips
  • Always bring a Thunder weapon for this fight.
  • Pay close attention to Nargacuga's tail; its shots are dangerous.
  • Don't forget to eat Bunny Dango before you depart for helpful buffs.
